I posted this before but thought I would explain a little better...
So I guess the fates got tired of me whining about not having anything to write about so they gave me this the other night....
On my way to work it was raining and the roads where wet, it was about 9:50pm. I was doing about 55mph (the speed limit) and there is an 18 wheeler to my left. The lane I was in is the one I need to be in to get on the correct freeway.... oh look there is the grill of the 18 wheeler in my side driver window, hum that is kind of strange.... (I never seem to be able to explain this part very well. The truck was going down the freeway just like he was supposed to be and I was 90 degrees or perpendicular to the way I should have been going, T-Boned as a friend has told me). So I figure this guy is going to slow down and stop as we are, like I said, doing 55mph. Ok, anytime now... so how 'bout that slowing down thing... you know my car could stop sliding any sec now and I could get crushed and die... WHAT THE HELL, THIS GUY IS NOT GOING TO STOP... finally I try my horn, which I can not hear at all, finally he starts to slow down and stops.
So he says that he thought that he had blown a tire and did not see me. It was not until I honked my horn that he knew I was there....
The driver side looks kind of trashed, but not an 18wheeler at 55mph trashed. None of the tires blow and the driver side front door is the only door that does not work right (of course the seat gets wet)...
